TIL you can copy links to settings with a long press!

[–] [email protected] 52 points 11 months ago

You have 7,000 instances and keywords blocked and still torture porn comes through? I have none blocked and I see no torture porn.

[–] [email protected] 49 points 11 months ago (1 children)

That’s messed up. Where?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Probably BDSM and not actual torture.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago

That's messed up. Where?

I mean the wooden horse shit is supposedly both.

Reminder you can also long press any setting to generate settings links for Sync: Settings shortcut: Account settings > Show NSFW content

[–] pixelscience 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Cool! I didn't know that was a thing.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Yeah super cool feature I only know about because someone posted it months ago, figured I'll keep the knowledge flowing

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Just answering a question as directly as possible. You da real MVP!

[–] Peppycito 7 points 11 months ago

But I want to block porn, not all NSFW stuff is porn...

[–] agamemnonymous 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How do I get it to actually work though? Everytime I toggle that slider, I get an error.

[–] pixelscience 3 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Not sure what's up... It's working fine here. Are you logged into your instance in sync?

[–] agamemnonymous 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Yup. Trying to change any of those settings results in

"Network Error Unable to save"

[–] pixelscience 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

@[email protected] Might be able to help. I've personally never seen that one.

[–] thekidxp 1 points 11 months ago

Just adding that I have the same problem. Whether I try to enable or block NSFW content it won't save. I can only change it if I log into the web interface

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 28 points 11 months ago (3 children)

But then youll miss out on furry tentacle girl with tits the size of a car

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

That's messed up. Where?

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago

Link please.

[–] southsamurai 5 points 11 months ago

I need to know where this is so I can ~~masturbate furiously to it~~ filter it out.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (3 children)

What's weird, is that I don't have any filters at all, and I have nsfw content allowed in the settings. Yet, I've never seen any porn through the sync app. Like, not even once. But I keep seeing people talk about how much porn there is all over the place. I'm very confused.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

If your own instance doesn't federate with NSFW instances, you won't see any.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

I also have it allowed and I only saw when browsing All. Just had to block LemmyNSFW

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

In my experience it depends on how you browse. I have seen porn if I browse by everything/new. This had lead to me blocking a lot of random stuff, not just porn. But if I'm just scrolling subscribed/active or subscribed/new I don't see porn. It may also depend on whether your instance is federated with the instance that supplies most porn.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Did you try searching for NSFW in the settings? There's an option for it

[–] Mandy 13 points 11 months ago
[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

This is a workaround, not a solution, but you could set your default view to Subscribed instead of All and then you'd only see the stuff you have chosen to see. Not perfect, but it's one possibility.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

Type NSFW into the search in settings.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

If the posts are coming from a porn specific Lemmy instance, you can block it entirely in the filters section. Here's a shortcut: Settings shortcut: Filters > Instance filters

[–] [email protected] 9 points 11 months ago

Torture porn? Haven't seen anything I would classify as that.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I blocked the Lemmy NSFW instance, and that made all the porn go away, which is what I wanted (you do you guys I just don't care for it).

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

They're talking about torture stuff, which I haven't seen any of but it sounds like it's NSFW as a whole

For the first few weeks I was continuously blocking communities to get rid of it until I realized blocking the right instance would do it. Now I don't see any.

[–] Peppycito 2 points 11 months ago (1 children)

How do you block an entire instance?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I did it through the connect app.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Honestly I have two Lemmy accounts. One for normal browsing and one for porn. The porn one I only look at pre subscribed subs, so I don't get random shit. Normal account is NSFW free which is just great.

[–] Peppycito 7 points 11 months ago

But turning on a NSFW filter blocks some funny shit that's just naughty, not pornographic.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Uhh what feeds are popping up for you??

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Mel Gibson's Passion of the Christ? Yeah, man! I got off SO HARD I had to leave the theater.

[–] lurch 2 points 11 months ago

I swear, since I browse Lemmy when bored, I'm horny 24/7 πŸ˜…

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

Just scrolled Subscribed, didn't see any porn. Scrolled All and the most I saw was hentai and racial fetish baiting.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 11 months ago

I have opposite, I don't see enough NSFW content, I miss my daily boobs. Sopuli.xyz (great instance btw) doesn't federate nsfw, so I have to switch accounts, to jump to NSFW side.

Is there any way to combine two accounts into one feed?
